Quote from Gutholz :in the XRT picture the flat look of 'simple wheels' reminds me of streamlined rims from some sportcars:

The wheels weren't flat, the centres could be turned off if your computer was slow.

I finally cleaned it, for the first time in about 4 years. Not going to lie, I kind of wish I hadn't. 4 years of dirt has hid a multitude of sins. Everything is exposed and obvious now. I really need to sort out the bodywork.

Quote from rediske :So I guess there are no STL files or similar availlable...

I got the impression OP wanted to make these for money and not give away the design.

I found my original LFS account, which I signed up on 17 Jan 2004, but I forgot the details for it, so had to do it again. Think I need to get out more. ;D

With GBP at the lowest it has been pretty much in history, now is the time to buy. It isn't going to get any cheaper, if anything, the price should go up to reflect the decreasing value of the pound. When I got S2 the pound was worth a little over 2USD. But still only £24, now the devs are essentially getting £12 for S2.

CL55 AMG (5.5L V8 N/A): 155mph (250kph)
Range Rover P38 (2.5L I6 TD): 115mph (185kph)

I'd like to lift the limiter on the Merc to see how fast it can go. I'll probably never take the P38 over 90 ever again, she doesn't really like it and she takes a while to crack a ton.

Quote from Racer X NZ :URGENT UPDATE: 2:45 PM Eastern US Time -- UK military members told to cancel all plans and all leave, prepare for deployment to Syria!

OK, I can't say much. But as one of the UK standby Bn, I can assure you, no such order has come through. You might want to get some juicy source for that. Maybe RAF are expecting to do some more air strikes, but nothing is happening with the Army right now.

I had to do some things to my RC recently. First I replaced the tub, as I slightly broke it. Was entertaining replacing the whole tub, haven't stripped down the thing since I got it back in 05/06, so it was useful to re-grease many things.



Then I decided for smashing around as a rally car, the touring chassis sat too close to the ground, so I modified the front and rear skid trays so the axles would drop lower and spaced out the springs as best I could (ran out of spacers). The increase in ride height is useful, just need to look at maybe some better tyres.

Quote from Ian.H :The scratch should buff out? or at least enough to pretty much hide it.. doesn't make it OK though.

That said, it, it could be worse (thanks to a detailer who'd never driven an auto before!).



Cheers..

We're thinking it might buff out. It happened while in the care of the garage, so it is going away to the bodyshop so they can produce a quote for a repair.

The broken track rod (and in turn both alloys and tyres), is because the recovery firm who moved the vehicle had never moved a 4x4 auto before, some genius decided to move it in park (because selecting neutral is too much like hard work) and rather than using the towing eye it appears they wrapped a strap around the front axle. Getting them to pay up is proving to be a ballache though. They are still "investigating" the incident.

Feel sorry for the guy who owns that Sport. What is so hard about hitting the brake pedal when a vehicle is going out of control? Are people insane? "Oh no, this vehicle won't stop. Best scream rather than hitting the brakes."

A bad month for my bus. First this happened.



Then this happened.



Very bad times. Especially as each event was caused by someone else. Makes me a sad kitty.

Quote from Matrixi :Gameklip for the HTC, been enjoying emulators too much to mess with the touch controls any longer.


That is a cool bit of kit. I might have to get me one of them.

As for my last purchase, a shit load of motorway services food and what not. Oh and lots of fuel, about 1,000 litres of it in the last 2 weeks.

Quote from Eclipsed :Wow,that's a serious machine! Double the price as my Asus N-series,also with 17" screen and bought for similar reason - no place for real gaming rig.

It is a decent little machine. Hopefully it lasts a few years. Should be here tomorrow. Laptops really have come a long way.

There is no good time to break up, you know when the time has come so best to get it out of the way. It allows you both time to move on, plus around Christmas/New Year is probably the easiest time to get women because the single ones are doing the whole "forever alone" drill. Happy days.

I currently date no one, change of career makes it awkward to date for the first year or so, especially with civvies, so I cut off all attachments. It can be poop at times, but heyho.

If it won't work with your current rig, bin it.
If it is more than 5 years old, bin it.
If you're unsure if it works, bin it.

You should now have thinned out a big chunk of what is there.

Quote from Bose321 :Removed the link with a faulty source?

That comparison image is bullshit. If you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p you should really get your eyes checked.

I see it more as "the difference is so slight and given the distance from the screen you'll be sat, why care?" I run 1080 as it is native to my monitors, no other reason. But most of my YouTubing what what not is done at 720, I honestly have no problems with this. Hell I still remember TFC at 640x480 as it was all my 3DFX could handle. I still managed to get in hours of game play fun. If a slightly blurred texture is such an issue to you... turn off your computer and go out side. You've wasted your life so far.

I guess I get a cookie.

You can have a cookie because you saw a loop hole and went for it. I respect that.

However you've got to fight this guy for it.

Quote from Torolol :What reliability?

@370tkm

You'd expect that from a VW. I've got 190k miles (305,775.36 kilometres) on the clock.
